Rittor Music A practice method that will ensure you can play jazz drums in 3 years

The long-awaited drum version of the best-selling book for beginners to jazz, part of the Three Years Later series, is finally here!

The author is Kazuaki Yokoyama, a talented drummer who has garnered enthusiastic support from many musicians.
Introducing the new drum instruction book from our popular series, "Definitely Jazz in 3 Years?"! Written by Kazuaki Yokoyama, a multifaceted jazz musician. His performances, imbued with deep respect for music, his vast knowledge, and his deep love for it, have earned him fervent support from a wide range of musicians. This first book, while remaining true to the "3 Years Later" series format, compiles essential information for jazz performance. It differentiates itself from the typical form-first, score-first approach found in instructional books, proposing that performance can be interpreted in many different ways. The book expands on the essentials, including why a particular technique exists, how it develops, and why a particular instrument should be used. Of particular note is the accompanying CD, which features three ensemble recordings with Mei Inoue (guitar) and Yusuke Senkita (bass). The songs to be performed were not decided until just before recording, and the CD also features lively conversations during the discussions. The roundtable discussion between the three musicians is intended to reach not only drummers, but all musicians, and is sure to be a book that will undoubtedly offer new discoveries for drummers in their fourth year or more, not just those three years from now!
